    Excellent Simms pod
    Simms does his usual awesome job on these plus the hosts in Connor and Ahmed are excellent.
  • Strong hunch
    Injured players running the 40
    Enjoyed discussion of players running the 40 for scouts despite injury. Lion’s CB Arnold has said that’s why his time was slow last year. What’s your assessment of Arnold so far?
  • JackAceMcJo
    Best addictive NFL pod out there!
    Simms (ex-College superstar and NFL QB) and his various co-hosts are hysterical, well informed, and unbelievably accurate in their insights, assessments, and predictions. Simms-isms and Homies rule!!
  • @bscottdenverite
    Conner Rodgers is a dork
    Show was cool before this clown CR weaseled his way in. Dude you know nothing we are not here for media dorks who think they know scheme and scouting. This was like the one place to get knowledge and now we have to deal w media posers who host drafts at a cardboard tv studio built in their mom’s basement. Christopher why did you let this guy in??
  • 0010010
    Florio is a joke
    Chris knows football better than almost anyone, but the Florio episodes are unlistenable.
  • B1GG13SMA11S
    Self scout thyself
    I love the pod and listen every week! I enjoy listening to game break downs through the eyes of a quarterback. One thing that does drive me slightly crazy as a fellow giants fan is I think you go wayyyyyy to easy on Jones… you are usually fast to point out when QBs have good box score numbers but leave tons of plays on the field. I think you can point directly to just that when you talk about the loses to Washington, Dallas and Cincinnati. Between the bad ball placement on deep balls to just making the wrong reads it seems like we should have a much better record of jones could make the throws to the open guys that Dabal is giving him! Thanks if you guys read this! Keep up the great work and I’ll always continue to listen!

    Self scout thyself
    This is the best podcast anywhere, definitely top of the leaderhouse. Simms is the best at breaking down all things football.
  • late_apex
    5 Stars when Florio isn’t involved.
    It’s like having curbed wheels on the passenger side of your Ferrari that you never replace. If every >knowledgable NFL expert said what they were thinking and focused on the action between the lines like CS, the content world would be a better place.

    The draft pod was awesome
    Chris started out sounding somewhat sober and then things got a little loose which was so funny and still very insightful. I love objective talk great stuff.

    Informative Entertaining Positive Excellence
    My FAVORITE PODCAST! Best-in-class information, entertainment, & positive energy. Perfect for critical thought analysis &/or falling asleep to @ night w/ positive energy vibes.

    Super Bowl Pod
    Unlistenable - love the POD and looked forward to Chris’ thoughts on the Super Bowl. Couldn’t hear him the entire episode because of audio issues, which not sure how that isn’t vetted before posting.
  • Bony Elbows
    Audio Skipping
    Love, love, love the pod, but the audio starts skipping around in the second half of nearly every episode. It’s gotten really bad lately. Step it up, Pete.
  • Surf2Die4
    Word salad Simms
    “I think he’s almost a little unstoppable, I do.” He’s far worse than the others, but why do sports talking heads regularly use minimizing qualifiers preceding and/or following superlatives? “He’s been utterly devastating, somewhat.” They waffle more than politicians, and it’s sort of totally unnecessary. On DP Show today (11/23/21) “That’s exactly kinda what happened.” It’s hilarious. “I think last night showed a lot too a little bit again.” “If you want to do a really deep dive, a little bit.” “Pedal to the metal, a little.” “That chops, you know, one of their legs out from underneath them a little bit.”
  • SirTobyLarone
    why put in time stamps?
    They’re always completely wrong 😑

    Great podcast
    Really enjoy this podcast to get news from around the NFL. Chris is entertaining.
  • Lucha Santo
    Simms is the best
    If you’re a 49ers fan you’ll love this podcast. He uses both hands when talking about Kyle Shanahan and his greatness. Loves the reach around from the back too. Swallows it all for anything he does. Loves to take it all, down to the base. Anything for Kyle.
  • rick cvbhgf
    Rules change for preseason
    I propose a rule change for preseason No intentional grounding. The quarterback can spike the ball at any time, and end the play no penalty even if he is 10 yards downfield and cannot make it out of bounds he can spike the play dead. The ball will be placed wherever he was when he spiked it. In the case of a sack, the nearest defender will be awarded the sack .
  • Madddddmaxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Just unfollowed
    The way you spoke about Eric carmona was so pathetic and weak. What a little nepo baby you are. Total coward. You thin skin loser. Peace out. Your analysis sucked anyways. You became exactly what you claimed to hate when you entered this industry. Clown.
  • fantasyfranks
    More Connor Rogers!
    Absolutely love the show, but would love to have Connor on more often especially during draft season!
  • Wilsonda10
    Question
    Great podcast! I really like the Conor Rodgers addition to the show. It’s for sure my go to football podcast !
  • Rambler990
    The perfect NFL podcast!
    Chris is the most likable and competent guy for this job. No favoritism when comes to the meat and potatoes of the NFL.
  • macdaddy137
    Long time fan on his way out
    Man - been a fan of chris and his pods since the BR days. Always thought his pods made me smarter as a football fan, but after listening to his Jalen Hurts discussion with Ahmed feel like this show is trending in the Skip/Stephen A direction. Theres a reason a lot of the other smart football people i follow and have publicly come out and said you guys shouldn’t be listened to for high level qb analysis this past week. “Hurts didn’t have to pass on the first 2 drives” First Drive: 5/5 68 yards and a touchdown 2 rushes for 6 yards Eagles running backs: 1 run for 2 yards Ahmed saying the giants would have won by 30 if qbs were swapped???? Why didn’t you start your bengals/bills breakdown with this take? Is it a race thing?
  • giants3890
    Correction
    You guys are great. Been listening to simms since BR days. Best in the business. Die hard giants fan here. Jan 2 2023 you guys said Jones joins Charlie conerly with the 2 pass and 2 rushing TD. He did that in his first start vs Tampa in week 3 2019.

  • OriginalCP3
    Chris
    Why do this podcast with Florio? He just said the reason the Cowboys let the Jags comeback was because they were thinking about playing the Eagles in the next game. He consistently makes evaluations based on immature, childlike views of how professional athletic men conduct their business. It’s ridiculous. He’s an idiot. Let him stick to the news and reporting. Get somebody on this pick show that actually understands betting or can breakdown the schematics of the teams involved.
  • SORRYABAHTIT
    OH YEAH BABY
    SIMMS IS THE GOAT
  • ryan....california
    Best NFL Podcast period.
    Long time listen since the bleacher report days. Only nfl pod I make a “must listen” on a week to week basis. Original thoughts and content by Chris instead of just the “retread/reused” stuff by major media. Great analysis. A lot of good conversation. - Ryan from California.

    Chris
    Excellent podcasts Chris Simms Bills def Chiefs “It’s Brady vs Manning , but with fair . Eagles def Cowboys “ They need Dak Prescott We can the nonsense “.
  • ranby rude
    Get Chris some help.
    Guy was drunk or on pills on episode 407. Unacceptable. Should have stopped the show guys, Seriously get him some help and I’ll listen again in the future.
  • LocksNonStop
    Solid
    This podcast is great. Even though Florio gives me weasel vibes sometimes. Keep it up boys.
  • blizzdizzl23
    The realest nfl podcast
    Simms keeps it real; gives his honest opinions regardless of the backlash or narratives; plus he’s never afraid to laugh at himself. Such a cool dude.
  • Bath Beach
    Matt Corral
    I love the show and still listen, even though Chris messed-me-up on Matt, I took him second in all my fantasy rookie drafts! But he dares to be different and star his strong opinions, and he owns but his success’s and misses!
  • rrhki
    Love it
    Great podcast!

    Democrats Vs Republicans
    Chris Simms treats the Republicans that rioted on Jan 6th equally to the Democrats that riot.
  • Chillguy86
    My 49ers draft
    If it was me I would’ve grabbed Nick Cross in the 3rd round and Coby Bryant with the second 3rd followed by Zach Tom in the 4th and Kingsley Enagbare in the 5th. Your thoughts?

    No more florio
    Chris is awesome but it’s literally embarrassing that he lets florio on the show. Guy is the epitome of a hack. Back just to say Florio continues to be the biggest click bait hack in the business. Guy is an absolute joke.

    How did you take Breece Hall @25 when you know Kenneth Walker is a much better running back! Damnit Chris!! Go Bills!

    Stop Being Biased
    You have become increasingly more biased in the past year. I get you like specific teams like the 49ers, and Patriots but it’s getting annoying. You have yet to give good reasons for not liking tua besides you not liking him coming out of the draft. You have yet the mention him having the worst offensive line(based off pressures allowed) and injured receivers this whole year. Based off what you’ve said In the podcast, you never took that into account. And when you said Taysom hill is more accurate then Tua you became a joke.
  • Coomes21
    God bless football!
    Simms is great, found this podcast after hearing him with Stugotz and Billy Gil.
